Made to live outdoors
Cast in glass-fibre reinforced concrete — the material used on modern building façades. It shrugs off sun, rain and frost where ordinary cast concrete cracks, so year five looks like day one.

The kit
A bowl of fire, wherever the evening is
The Round Fire Bowl Kit is the simplest way to put real flame on a patio: a hand-cast GFRC bowl, a stainless burner underneath, lava rock on top. Set it on a plinth by the pool or straight on the pavers, connect the gas, and pull the chairs in.
By day it reads as a quiet concrete vessel. After dark it is the reason everyone drifts outside and stays.
Why it earns its place
Beautiful, built to last, effortless to live with
Sculptural by day, magnetic by night
Real presence even unlit. Eight high-heat colours — from Black to Grey White, with Beach Sand, Beach Dune and Coastal Blue between — to sit with your stone, decking or planting.
Lit in seconds
Match-lit is the simplest setup: open the gas, light it by hand, no electricity. Runs on propane or natural gas, so it fits the hookup you already have.
Press the button and the flame lights and holds on a thermopile safety — no matches, no electricity. Runs on propane or natural gas, so it fits the hookup you already have.
Auto ignition lights the burner electronically — no matches, no lighter — and includes a WiFi control panel so you can start it and adjust the flame from your phone. Runs on propane or natural gas, so it fits the hookup you already have.
Made by hand
Cast, finished and inspected one at a time
Every piece is hand-poured in GFRC and finished in your chosen colour, so no two are identical. The occasional fine air pocket isn’t a flaw — it’s the fingerprint of real, hand-cast concrete, and part of what gives each piece its character.

Before you buy
Questions, answered plainly
Can it stay outside year-round?
Yes. GFRC is engineered for the outdoors and handles sun, rain and temperature swings far better than standard cast concrete. For the longest life we recommend a fitted cover through heavy weather and the off-season.
Propane or natural gas — which do I need?
Either. Pick the gas type when you order and the burner kit ships set up for it. Choose propane for portability with a standard tank, or natural gas if you have a line run to the space.
What’s included, and what isn’t?
Everything in the kit: the piece, the burner pan and stainless burner, gas lines, fittings, the ignition, air mixer for propane and lava rock, shipped by freight. Not included: the gas supply itself (a tank or a stubbed line) and the base it sits on. Fire glass is optional if you want a different look than lava rock.
How does something this size ship?
Free — by insured freight with white-glove delivery. Kits are made to order; we confirm the ship date when you order. A qualified pro should make any gas-line connection.
I see fine pitting in the surface — is that a defect?
No. Small air pockets are natural to hand-poured GFRC and vary piece to piece. They’re part of the handmade character, not a fault. On-screen colour may also differ slightly from the finished piece.
